Pollok Park, Glasgow

Finally geting around to using the features on my Garmin GPS.
There are still have a few things I don't get. Below is the screen shot of Pollok Park Mountain Bike Circuit.
The first section, turn sharp right on going through the entrance, is rated green and is a reasonable warm up area. The transition point goes on to a bshort climb and the track has lots of nice slippy roots.
The transition to teh red route finds you crossing a park road and there are some rolling humps drop offs berms and logs etc. All handy for practice. There is a moderately steep climb after a log feature, which I always find way too slippery.
Getting back up to the blue/ed transition will take you downhill to a left sweeping curve. The main feature on the return are the steps that take you down to the final straight.
Pollok Park is a reasonably quick short woodlandtrack minutes from Glasgow City Centre. Good for perfecting some skills, but watch out for the occasional dog walker, some of whom think walking the dog on a formal mountain bike path with the whole family in tow is an entirely valid passtime.

Joggers wearing headphones were a bit of a hazard too!
